What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Kretek smoke contains various toxic substances that are harmful to human health and has been associated with inflammation and structural alterations in multiple organs. However, its effects on cardiac tissue remain incompletely understood. This study aimed to evaluate myocardial histopathological alterations and p53 protein expression following subchronic kretek smoke exposure in rats. Male Rattus norvegicus Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into two groups. Group I was exposed to normal air, while Group II was exposed to kretek smoke at a dose of 1 kretek/rat/day for 30 days. Cardiac tissues were examined using H&E and MT staining. IHC analysis was performed to assess myocardial p53 protein expression, while ultrastructural observations of the myocardium were conducted using SEM. Group II rats exhibited myocardial inflammation characterized by lymphocyte infiltration and increased collagen accumulation, whereas Group I rats showed no inflammatory changes and minimal collagen deposition. Myocardial p53 protein expression was significantly higher in Group II (224.68 ± 5.44 µm²) than in Group I (199.87 ± 13.35 µm²;
